Politics were not the only factor
that appeared to have an impact
on students’ opinions. Other factors that may have played a role in
shaping opinions included students’
upbringing. Students whose parents
own a gun are twice as likely to support concealed carry on campus as
students whose parents do not.
The Pack Poll gathered these statistics from an online survey conducted Jan. 28-29, in which about
26,000 students were emailed
questions about their opinions on

gun laws. Of the 26,000 who were
contacted, 891, or 34 percent, responded.
According to Jake LaRoe, a researcher at the Pack Poll, this is a
high response rate compared to the
9 percent response rate normally
seen in industry polls, which can
likely be attributed to the brevity
of the survey and the exclusiveness
of the network of survey recipients.

place of junior forward C.J. Leslie.
The decision was likely made to rest
Leslie for the end of the game. Vandenberg, who made his first career

Purvis started the game at point

More than 2,400 incoming
freshmen received course credit
from Advanced Placement classes this fall, according to registration and records. However, many
institutions are modifying their
policies considering AP classes.
Dartmouth College recently
announced it will no longer accept AP credits towards graduation, effective 2018.
Hakan Tell is a classics professor and chairman of Darthmouth College’s Committee on
Instruction.
“The concern that we have is
that increasingly, AP has been
seen as equivalent to a collegelevel course, and it really isn’t, in
our [the college’s] opinion,” Tell
said in an interview with NPR.
Jim Martin, professor of chemistry and a representative for the
Wake County Board of Education, agrees.
Martin explained that colleges
are straying away from providing AP credit because AP courses
are becoming centered around
test preparation more than the
actual learning process.
“I see that a significant amount
of AP is teaching people to pass
the AP test,” Martin said.
Kristin Stroud, a sophomore
majoring in fashion and textile
brand management, affirms this
notion.
“I do not feel like I gained the
same quality of education [in AP
classes] because we simply aim
towards passing a test rather
than learning true fundamentals and material,” Stroud said.
Preparing for standardized
exams encourages students to
focus solely on recognition based
learning, Martin said, adding
that this is problematic because
it is not practical in real-life situations.
“The way I teach reflects the
way my life is as a chemist. When
I’m working, I don’t get answers

to choose between,” Martin said.
Martin said he finds students in
his higher level chemistry courses
who have received credit for a prerequisite through AP credits perform at a much lower rate compared
to those who took the prerequisite
courses at the University.
“People who have been trained
with the standardized form of
learning get a culture shock,” Martin said.
Martin said high schools should
require more intensive and challenging classes that teach fundamental skills such as critical
thinking, independent learning and
problem solving rather than merely
passing a test.
Stroud said she feels like she gets
more of an education from her
courses now.
“I think AP classes had more
‘busy-work’ and were far more
time-consuming than my classes
now. I feel like my classes now provide me an ample amount of time to
study and actually learn the material rather than simply memorize it
for a test,” Stroud said.
According to Martin, AP classes
can be helpful for students.
“However, there’s a difference
between a class being helpful and
being substituted for college credit,”
Martin said.
Another problem with AP classes is that they discourage students
from taking other enriching classes.
“I see this as a member of the
Board of Education; there are a lot
of students who take AP courses because of the impact they have on a
weighted GPA,” Martin said.
Martin asserts this discourages
students from taking other courses
that broaden their experience.
“I always encourage students to
take as many drama classes as they
can; you might not need to perform
a drama in career, but you need the
communication and presentation
skills that a drama class might teach
you,” Martin said.
Martin said he does not think

the flexibility. According
to SAS’s website, the core
of these factors goes back
to Goodnight’s philosophy, which refers to the
company’s employees as
“creative capital.”
“It’s my job to maintain
a work environment that
keeps those people coming back every morning,”
Goodnight said in an article on Harvard Business
Review featured on SAS’s
website. According to a

Goodnight’s innovation

The recent gun control
policy debate prompted
the questions on the Pack
Poll and is the topic of
legislation in the North
Carolina Senate. According to The News and
Observer, a bill was introduced Thursday, Jan. 31,
which will allow teachers
to possess guns on campus if passed.
Alex Dowcett, a junior
in environmental engineering and Democrat
who participated in the
survey, said he does not
want to see a concealed
carry policy on campus.
“A large part of me says
that there is no reason

Junior in statistics and
computer science Bethany

company for three years.
“My father and brother

get my hair done out there,
go to the gym and see people
I’ve known since I was little.”
Even Student Body President Andy Walsh works at
SAS, following in the footsteps of his mother and father who also work for the
company.
“Getting to work in such a
positive SAS environment –
where one is given the tools
to be intellectually challenged
and stimulated – has had an
impact on how I perform my
duties at N.C. State,” Walsh
said in a blog by SAS communications specialist Shannon
Heath.
SAS also offers many amenities to employees.
“It’s almost like a big college campus,” Dorsett said.
According to Dorsett, SAS
employees have a card similar to the Wolfpack One card,
which they can swipe to deduct the money they use on
SAS’s services from their
paychecks.
“Where I see SAS most
emulating a college setting
is through the technology
found on both campuses,”
Walsh said in Heath’s blog.

Webb said she also enjoyed seeing famous movie
starts when Iron Man III
filming took place in her
building.
“I got to meet Robert
Downey Jr. and Gwyneth
Paltrow,” Webb said.
According to Dorsett,
SAS operates under flexible conditions as well;
some employees come in
early to go to the gym and
then return to their office.
Dorsett said he only
worked Tuesdays through
Fridays, equating to a 35hour workweek.
“You work 35 hours, but
you get paid like you are
working 40,” Dorsett said.
Dorsett said the only reason
he left his job at SAS was because he preferred collegiate
athletics rather than recreation and fitness. Dorsett
now works as a marketing
assistant for the University’s
athletic department.
“However, for analytics and
computer science, SAS is the
best place to be,” Dorsett said.
SAS was unable to give

Bands did not have to travel
far to show off local talent at

Lilac Shadows’ performance Friday night energized

Oulipo, composed partially
of N.C. State students, performed eclectic music saturated with synthesizer, voice
modulation and technical
drumming.
Timmy Matthews, guitarist for Oulipo and junior in
communications, said the
performance may not have
been the band’s largest in
size, but may have been their
most important performance
to date.
Matthews said he thought
the band’s first performance

Nick Murphy, senior

said he enjoyed the performance for its music
and raucous attitude.
Murphy said he liked
the exciting stage presence
given by Spider Bags’ bassist and guitarist.
“The singer laid down
and played a solo, I just
thought that was really
punk,” Murphy said. “I
liked how the bassist got
on the speakers, I thought
that really amped people

The tenth Double Barrel Benefit brought several

The number one cause of
death in Ghana is malaria.
In fact, children in Ghana
get malaria like the common
cold in America.
“Sometimes, it would be
three of four days before the
child would go to the hospital
because the people who ran
the orphanage didn’t have
the money and wanted to
wait some time to be sure,”
Wilson said. “So a kid would

have a 103-degree fever for
three days.”
It was hard for Wilson to
see that happen to the children, and she ended up advocating for a child who was
sick to go to the doctor right
away and paid for their visit.
“A week into my experience, I felt like I wasn’t giving the children enough in
comparison to how much
they were changing my life,”
Wilson said.
That was the mindset that
inspired Wilson to do something for the children. She
created a project called “A
Bed For An Angel,” which

raises money to give all the
children mosquito nets and
bunk beds. She started the
project the following September, and by sending out
emails to her family and
friends, letters to churches
and talking with people at
N.C. State, she had raised
enough money four months
later. In January 2011, Wilson
made $3,000 for her project.
In the summer of 2011, she
returned to Ghana again.
“My goal kind of changed
when I got back to Ghana
[and spoke with Volta Aid],”
Wilson said. “I realized they
needed health insurance first

and foremost, so that there
would never be an excuse
for them to go to the hospital when they got sick. And
secondly, that they needed
multivitamins every day.”
Childhood is the most important time for people to
get the nutrients they need.
These orphans were not getting enough because of their
eating habits, and these vitamins help with that.
“It was so important that I
went back [to Ghana] with an
open mind,” Wilson said. “I
told people that I was roughly
going to buy just mosquito
nets and bunk beds, but the
real purchase that meant so
much was the health insurance and the multivitamins.
That’s what I’m most proud
about because bunk beds can
break and malaria nets can
rip, but the health insurance
is guaranteeing their future
more.”
All of her purchases were
made in Ghana to help the
local economy. With the remainder of the money, Wilson created a fund for future
volunteers to add to so that
the children can continue to
get more.
“I think the children were
very grateful,” Wilson said. “I
think the older children knew
what was going on, but I never said, ‘This is from Nellie.
You’re welcome.’ It was just
giving it to them that mattered and getting to see how
happy they were when they
got [it all].”
According to Wilson, her
time in Africa is not one that
will ever be forgotten. She
said her experiences modified
the way she lives her life and
completely turned her world
upside-down.
“I think that when you see
poverty like I did, there’s
no turning back or forgetting it,” Wilson said. “These
kids completely changed my
worldview and helped me
realize what I was passionate about, which is helping
people. And now, when I see
struggle is when I realize how
beautiful life is.

GLBT center conducts follow-up survey
Taylor Quinn
Staff Writer

Ten years ago, when the
GLBT Center was just getting ready to open its doors
at N.C. State, a survey was
conducted among the gay,
lesbian, bisexual and transgender community gauging
the climate of equality within
the University. Now the center is conducting the survey
again to see how things have
changed and if the full equality of treatment is in sight.
Justine Hollingshead, director of the GLBT Center,
wanted to conduct this sur-

vey to discover “how to make
changes and meet the need of
the community,” and added
“research and assessment is
a need.”
This survey is unique to
N.C. State but takes elements
from national surveys as well
as from the survey taken in
2003 that was used in Vice

Provost Lisa Zapata’s dissertation. She is one of the associates responsible for the
health and counseling centers
who did research gauging climates of the GLBT community. Zapata helped with the
planning and analysis of this
survey to make sure it would
maximize the information
they received.
The GLBT Center’s administration felt as though it was
time to conduct another survey to compare the results to
see how, or if, the University
has grown as a more inclusive
community.
“[The survey] is open to

“I really don’t have a preconceived notion,” Hollingshead said. “But I’m hoping to

This survey is taking place
through Feb. 14 and can be

Amina’s Cafe combines student staples
Nicky Vaught
Deputy News Editor

To those who have ever
craved Mediterranean cuisine and frozen treats at the
same time, Hillsborough
Street may finally have the
place for you.
Abbes Khelfa opened Amina’s Cafe, 2508 Hillsborough
St., at the beginning of the
year and runs the cafe independently, �primarily to sell
frozen yogurt.
On one side of the cafe,
Khelfa sells Mediterranean
dishes, such as panini, gyro
and kabobs; on the other,
frozen yogurt and ice cream.
According to Khelfa, frozen
yogurt and Mediterranean
food pair well and both harbor certain health benefits,
so he decided to sell them
together.
With students and faculty
as his most frequent customers, Khelfa focuses mostly on
selling to students as he has
the most experience selling
to them.
Prior to relocating to the
Raleigh area, Khelfa and a
partner owned and operated Angora, a frozen yogurt
shop near Boston College
and Boston University. After
its initial success, Khelfa and
his partner expanded, turning Angora into a three-store
chain.

JOANNAH IRVIN/TECHNICIAN

Stacks of toppings line the walls of Amina’s Cafe, a frozen yogurt and mediterranean cafe, on
Tuesday. Options available for mixing include Oreo’s, York Peppermint Patties and N.Y. style
cheesecake.

“Customers who have
spent time in Boston often
find out the same man who
started Amina’s is the one
who started Angora,” Khelfa
said. “They get excited.”
Khelfa said he hopes Amina’s gains the same kind
of popularity. According to
Khelfa, people in many states
know about Angora.
Success in Boston inspired
Khelfa to start Amina’s near
N.C. State and, as it’s at the
center of a fast-paced, rapidly
growing city, Khelfa expects
to see the same level of opportunity.

Khelfa started Amina’s on
his own, leaving his business
partner with the three Angora establishments.
The man behind Amina’s
got into the frozen yogurt
business after leaving his
business selling ice cream in
Algeria. He and his Turkish
partner started selling frozen
yogurt in 1990. Their shop
gained popularity, as it was
the only frozen yogurt business in the area.
“Nobody sold it, really,”
Khelfa said. “I’d seen it
around and at the mall, but
it’s not the same. [Ours] isn’t

like, you know, the soft serve,
it’s different.”
Amina’s Cafe joins an impressive lineup of Mediterranean restaurants and frozen
yogurt shops on Hillsborough Street. Some students
wonder if the cafe will see
much success.
“There are already so many
restaurants like that,” Josh
Poole, a junior in mechanical
engineering, said. “There’s
Jasmin and Freshberry. It’s
like Amina’s is a flower seed
that got planted after the rest
have already grown and it
won’t see much light.”

JOANNAH IRVIN/TECHNICIAN

Amina’s Cafe owner, Abbes Khelfa, displays chicken kabobs
which is one of the many mediterranean delights on
Tuesday. The cafe also serves made to order frozen yogurt
combinations. “I am bringing high quality yogurt and fresh
mediterranean food,” Khelfa said.

Poole, eating a small bowl
of Nutella-f lavored yogurt,
said he enjoyed the business
for its integration of two
popular, healthy food items.
“Hopefully people do go
to it,” Poole said. “If not a lot

of people, just enough for it
to stay in business. It’s a really interesting place and it
doesn’t get carried away by
its own gimmick.”

Alex Peden, a 2012 graduate
of N.C. State’s College of Art

of High Cotton, explained
their passion for employing
their neighbors.
“One of their main ideas
for coming to Raleigh was to

State and UNC-Chapel Hill,”
Peden said.
“We’ve gone a step further,” Hill said. “We’ve made
a commitment not only to
North Carolina, but to my

With 150 stores carrying
their products, High Cotton
is sold all the way from Maine
to Texas. It will be in Raleigh,
though, that they first open a
retail store all their own.
“We’ll be able to show our
story to folks in hopes that
they’ll understand what we’re

Elizabeth Hardy, a 2008
graduate of N.C. State’s College of Textiles and a recent

“I credit my getting this job

According to Hill, it’s this
recipe of Hardy, Peden and
the homegrown culture of
the business that has set High
Cotton up for success.
“It’s because of the culture, our products are made
by people in the south,” Hill
said. “We go so far as to use
cotton from North Carolina
for all of our products. We try
not just to make them here
but to pick the cotton for

In the end, according to

graduates for this passage,
universities traditionally invite a commencement speaker to speak on graduation day.
Some of the most distinguished members of our society have addressed graduates in universities across the

commencement speaker, it is
necessary for speakers to have

that through their own

they can speak meaningfully
about contributing to the

speaker should be inspirational — graduates should

should also be insightful.

Brain is the founder of
HowStuffWorks. Before achieving
success as an entrepreneur,
author and public speaker, he
earned a master’s degree in
computer science from N.C. State,
and taught in the computer

asked about the last play, he
kept it simple.
“Look, sometimes in sports
you have years where you
have all those plays go in your
favor. Sometimes they don’t,”
Gottfried said. “I thought
there was a lot of competitive
greatness in our team to keep
digging.”
With the loss, State falls to
16-6 overall, 5-4 in the ACC,

State led at the half, 36-24,
as the Deacons were held to
33 percent shooting in the
opening 20 minutes.
Wake Forest responded in
the second half and managed to cut the deficit to just
two points with 12 minutes remaining in the game
when �senior guard Lakevia Boykin, a Raleigh native,
completed a three-point play.
The Pack, however, was
able to shift momentum back
in its favor by holding the
Deacons scoreless over the
next three minutes of play.
State held Wake Forest to 15
points for the remainder of
the game.
“Wake Forest has been very
good offensively all season
long,” Harper said. “I am really proud of our defensive effort today. I thought that was
where this game was won.”
N.C. State shot 38.6 percent from the floor, but the
Pack was 55.6 percent from
three-point range. State outrebounded the Deacons, 4936, for the afternoon.
“We did not shoot well in
the second half but we did a
nice job attacking and getting
to the rim,” Harper said.
The Wolfpack will return

while the Hurricanes remain
undefeated in ACC play with
a perfect 8-0 record, 17-3
overall.
The Wolfpack’s next game
will be against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium Thursday night.

The N.C. State women’s basketball team (11-12, 3-8 ACC)
defeated Wake Forest (10-12,
3-7) Sunday afternoon at Reynolds Coliseum, 64-55. The
Lady Wolfpack earned its third
conference win in the last four
games after dropping its first
seven games against ACC opponents. The team played without
junior guard Myisha GoodwinColeman, who injured her left
ankle in practice Friday.
State was led by senior guard
Marissa Kastanek who scored
23 points and grabbed eight rebounds in 39 minutes of action.

Kastanek made eight of her 16 shots,
including three of five shots from
three-point range.
“The coaches, over the past couple
of practices, have put a big emphasis on assist-passes, and that plays
a big role,” Kastanek said. “If I can
get open for just a split second and
the pass is perfect, that helps me get
my shot up.”
Sophomore guard Krystal Barrett added 14 points for the Pack,
tying her season high against Elon
in December.
Redshir t sophomore g ua rd
Len’Nique Brown, who started in
place of Goodwin-Coleman, also
played 39 minutes and had four
points and nine assists, the latter a
team-leading statistic.
